NEW YORK (AP) - New York City police say the machine pistol used by a street hustler shot dead in a Times Square gunfight was purchased at a gun dealer outside of Richmond, Va.
Officials with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are trying to find the woman who bought the gun, 25-year-old Jordan Kelsey-Stewart.
Police spokesman Paul Browne says she purchased the gun Oct. 18 from Dale's Guns in Powhatan, Va. Police said shooter Raymond Martinez was carrying several business cards for Virginia gun dealers in his pocket, including Dale's Guns.
The Mac-10 pistol was reported stolen from a car in Richmond on Oct. 28.
Meantime, investigators executed a search warrant at Martinez's home where they found a 9-shot 22-caliber NEF revolver, the NYPD said.
